• Just wanted to note some experiences of this plug-in in case it’s helpful to someone.

    I couldn’t find any substantial English documentation; some of the tabs in the codex actually link to a different plugin and the author’s site is mostly in Italian.

    Gave it a try anyway and found that there was an error something along the lines of “unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION class.phpmailer.php” No problem though, changed from PHP4 to PHP5 and this error was resolved.

    Unfortunately as far as I can see this plug-in doesn’t have a sign up form so the only ways to put people on the list seems to be
    – manual entry
    – importing from comments
    – importing from WP users.

    Cheers.

  • Hi Zodzilla!
    Sorry for the bad documentation, i am really busy in these days but i have to write a new english documentation about Sendit and also a new version with some news features (scheduling, cron, etc).
    The problem you wrote is exactly what i told on my italian blog:
    Sendit works only with php 5 (there is no reason to enhance features to work with php 4) but i saw manyu people still using Php 4 (probably they have to switch php version from their hosting panel) to make it work.
    Thanks!

    Hi friends!

    There is an error in the italian po file:
    Sei sicuro di voler cancellare la lista %? Cancellerai tutti i dati e gli iscritti!
    Should be:
    Sei sicuro di voler cancellare la lista d%? Cancellerai tutti i dati e gli iscritti!
    (attention to %d)
    I’ve traslated the plugin to Spanish, in case anyone need it, but some texts don’t change in the plugin (most texts from SMTP section, for example) and in my case, the plugin DOESN’T work, with WP 2.9.2 and PHP 5.1.6 in the server. I mean, everything works except sending the emails. It doesn’t shows any error but an OK message instead, but the mails don’t get to their destinations. I’m using the default mail() function. But other plugins in the same site, for suscription to digest for example, DO work, so I suppose something is wrong in the code. 😕
    Anyway, you’re doing a great job, and my contribution is the Spanish translation in case you want it. 🙂

    Hi all,

    could anyone explain how i can modify the script(s) so after someone register to receive my newsletter, i receive an email. I tried to chance the code of submit.php

    //notifica a admin
    $mail->ClearAddresses();
    $mail->AddAddress($templaterow->email_lista);
    $mail->AddAddress(‘adminsblog@gmail.com’);
    $mail->Subject = $admin_mail_message;
    $mail->AltBody = __(‘New subscriber for your newsletter: ‘, ’sendit’).get_bloginfo(‘blog_name’);
    // optional, comment out and test
    $mail->MsgHTML($_POST[’email_add’].__(‘ subscribe to your mailing list: ‘).get_bloginfo(‘url’));
    $mail->Send();
    endif;

    as i am not a php programmer i haven’t got a clue how to modify the script(s)?

    thanks in advance

    I just wanted to note that I’m having the same experience with the same versions WP and PHP. I’ve tried both using the default mail() function and my web host’s smtp settings. No errors. As far as the admin is concerned, the emails appear to have send. None reach their destination address, though.

    It doesn’t work (1.4.6, php 5, WP 2.9.2, using gmail). No message: just freeze my site. I need to stop the plugin and clear my cache to go back normal.

    Hi guys ive update Sendit now.
    I think most commons problems are solved (gmail settings and confirmation message)

    Guys finally i understand the problem of missing “emails” loose in the middle of noware.
    99% of hosting providers limits emails x hours to 100 or something like this so, going over those limits can BLOCK your email traffic (hostgator do this, thiswebhos do this) so mail SENT are loose.
    I create a PRO version of Sendit, should be useful for everyone cause it’s a newsletter scheduler allows you to decide batched emails block, and interval in seconds between sending. I decide to sell it at the small price of 20 eur. It works with Sendit (1.5.4) and he has a tracker to see how many readers read your newsletters, cron jobs, and newsletter will be stored as post / pages (it’s a custom post type so you need wordpress 3)
    Let me know!
